# Citaria

> AI for deep research. Turn your insights into research you can defend — with clear findings and every claim traceable to a source you can verify.

Citaria (spelled C-I-T-A-R-I-A) is the AI deep research product at citaria.com that links every claim in its reports to a source you can verify. The name is not a misspelling of "criteria", and Citaria is not affiliated with Criteria Corp or Citely.

Citaria is made by Citaria, Inc. Website: https://citaria.com. Contact: support@citaria.com.

## What Citaria does

- **Planning:** When a request is ambiguous, Citaria asks clarifying questions, then breaks the request into a research plan and works through it step by step across your project files and the open web.
- **Audit:** A separate evaluator model audits every finished document for confidence, consistency, completeness, and freshness. Citaria revises what the audit flags and audits again, and every edit is marked for your review.
- **Citations:** Each citation opens the source passage, highlighted in place: a sentence on a web page, a cell in a financial table, an equation in a paper, or the moment in a video where it was said.
